I just read about this last night at gizmodo.com and it made me feel like I wanna try to fly inside the house. It was just in my thoughts before (while I was watching the movie) and now it's for REAAAAL! Here's the article:
Jesus Diaz — This is really nuts. The people from National Geographic have built a house inspired by the Pixar movie Up! Yes, a house tied to gas balloons that actually flies. I'm so giddy I can barely type.
Sure, the 16 by 16 feet house is not a full house, but I don't care. It flies for real, thanks to three hundred weather balloons full of helium. The Up! house—which will be part of a new National Geographic TV series called How Hard Can It Be?—was 10 stories high, including the balloons. It reached 10,000 feet and flew for about one hour.
Update: The producers of the National Geographic series How Hard Can It Be?—which is premiering this fall—sent us a lot of new photos taken at the private airfield near Los Angeles, where it all happened.

i bet, you want to try it too, right? haha!
(many thanks also to Sir Melo who also posted about this article. his post reminded me to blog this one)
